Faithfulness means showing constant loyalty. Num 12:7. Faithfulness is vital in our relationship with God.-1cor 4:2, 1cor 1:2. You have to discover what you are called to do; as such being faithful would not be a problem.
Phil 2:5-8- Follow the example of Jesus; Jesus was loyal, humble and obedient even unto death.
COMPONENTS OF FAITHFULNESS
- Availability- Phil 2:6, Isa 6:8. Be available for God’s service and maintain a good relationship with God.
- Humility- 1 Pet. 5:5-6. Only the humble will receive grace to complete the assignment. The question is: are you doing the work of God in humility or pride? Let us do the work of God in humility.
- You must obey all instructions regarding the work of God. Total obedience to God’s word. 2 Sam 5:18-20, Phil 2:8, Joshua 1:6-9, Luke 22:42. Jesus’ obedience was threatened.
- Commitment: be committed to the assignment. Jesus despised the shame of the cross because of His commitment to the work.
